- 9 is in the hundredths place and 6 is in the thousandths place
- Since the digit in the thousandths place (6) is greater than or equal to 5, add 1 to the digit in the hundredths place (9)
- 1 + 9 = 10, so the digit in the hundredths place becomes 0, and 1 is added to the digit in the tenths place (9)
- 1 + 9 = 10, so the digit in the tenths place becomes 0, and 1 is added to the digit in the ones place (4)
- 1 + 4 = 5, so the digit in the ones place becomes 5
- The digits to the right of the hundredths place are dropped
- 34.9965 rounded to the nearest hundredth (two decimal places) = 35.00
